Bardeh posted:Twitter is all abuzz with this general election story...but how exactly is Boris going to get one? I don't get it, he's been asking Labour to agree to one for weeks, how can he magically make one happen now? The extension still hasn't been granted so Labour aren't going to VONC yet... I think it's more about the election being seen to be his decision, rather than Corbyn tabling a VoNC for one as soon as the extension is confirmed.

Brojo will give MPs more time to debate brexit deal if they agree to a 12 December general election. Generous of him.

Did he not even go on TV to announce this? Old Tereezers went on TV to announce every and any old thing. Sometimes she just had a bit of an angry ramble and nobody knew what point she was making. Amazing how quickly nostalgia sets in in these crazy times.

Seems a bit premature given the EU haven't granted the extension yet. Though maybe the promise of an election will tip France over the edge.

I remember the old days, when the evil brexit pushing tory PM at least had the guts to show her face in front of tame reporters, conservative party activists, and even sometimes carefully selected members of the public. She would do PMQs most weeks, certainly more than twice in three months. If only Boris had her courage.

Though that is important to remember, recruiters don't exist to get people jobs, they exist to charge businesses for things.

Aramoro posted:More than happy to be world leading on it, but the solution is not going to be one that ends at our borders. One slight concern I've had for a while is the extent to which unions determine Labour policy - we know that unions are good for labour rights when said rights are under threat, but also tend to the conservative / reactionary when it comes to wider societal changes that negatively affect their members, even when those changes are essential. Like, say, decarbonization. I'm thinking particularly of a Novara panel at Conference 2019 where a union leader was all "oh yes we love the green new deal, love it, climate is very important!", then when asked about support for a third runway at Heathrow said something like "well, those are good jobs that'll be created, and it'll reduce sky congestion". Might be that the latter is true, but it's beyond my knowledge, anyone else know? Anyway, the first part of that statement is a bit concerning - a lot of the oil jobs are "good jobs", it isn't certain that we'll be able to replace them all with equally-paying jobs, so should it require job losses or downgrades, will those unions start opposing climate policies, and how badly would that affect the Green New Deal? sorry, just making GBS threads out some thoughts

Even without this GE thing, the EU would still grant it ... Seriously. The EU doesn't want to be blamed, however unreasonably it would seem, for any aspect of this loving shitshow. They want the UK to sort their poo poo out themselves. Plus, the Irish have already publicly said Jan 31, and the EU wouldn't be so dumb as to go against Ireland on this. Macron is just posturing for the home audience and playing the bad cop. He did the same at the last extension.

Next and final amendment is from the SNP; "the House regrets the UK Government's intention to use the Immigration Bill to end freedom of movement within Europe". Looks like quite a few abstainees on the opposition benches.

I hear occasionally about the mythical helpful recruiter who, through personal contacts and deep industry knowledge, matches you with the perfect potential employer, supports you through the application and interview process and smooths things every step of the way. But personally I've yet to encounter one who at best couldn't be replaced with 5 minutes of Google and more likely just cold calls you repeatedly to waste your time with jobs that are either unsuitable, or potentially suitable but they won't give you full details of in case you spend 5 minutes on Google to cut them out. Maybe they offer better service on the employers' side, but I'm pretty doubtful.

The fact that they act as gatekeepers to environments where your own competence is under constant scrutiny is one of many reasons why the modern workplace is effectively a lunatic asylum which you are paid to attend.

Firos posted:The reality check here is that if they don’t do it, we die. Like, this is the shot. Because no one else can legislate oil investment out of existence. People have been saying that since the 70's. Soon XR will burn out and it'll turn into the importance of environmental education so our children can fix it all. Too little too late and keep passing the buck to the next generation.

So I log in & check and there's 75 new posts and it's not about crisps? What is this outrage? Kidding obviously, but man, I know the prospect of a general election has been lurking for a while but it still feels rather sudden. Less surprised to hear Jo Swinson is still trash, as are all liberals everywhere. Coohoolin posted:One of the most important developments in the UK for combating global climate change is ensuring Scotland stays in the EU by any means necessary so that the massive renewable energy is available to the energy supergrid. You are a parody account of Scottish nationalists created by Pissflaps and I claim my £5.
